In the prologue of the Ring, the entire cycle has already been prophesied. At the sound of a chord that seemingly emanates from the depths of the earth, a mythological, timeless universe is born, finding an echo in each and every era. For over and beyond the story of the gold and the ring of power at the heart of the conflict between the Gods and the Nibelungs, it is power and the moral sacrifices required to exercise it that are in question. Musically and theatrically unequalled, Das Rheingold opens The Ring of the Nibelung.
